JS use video frame as canvas background

I'm attempting to use a the first frame of a video as the background of a canvas, as you probably guessed from the title of the question. I can set a background, I can get a frame from a video, but I can't make the frame be the background. It looks like I need a url for the frame to set as the background in the CSS style. For that, I need a blob on which I can call createObjURL() (although I'm discovering now that that method may be deprecated/ing).

Here's some code:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<canvas id="back" style="background-image: url('path/to/.png')";></canvas>
<input type="file" accept="video/*" />


<script>

  document.querySelector('input').addEventListener('change', extractFrame, false);

  var canvas = document.getElementById('back');
  var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
  var imageObj = new Image();
  var image;
  imageObj.onload = function() {
          var height = imageObj.height;
          var width = imageObj.width;
          canvas.height = height;
          canvas.width = width;
          context.drawImage(imageObj, 0, 0, back.width, back.height);
  };
  imageObj.src = "path/to/.png";



  var draw_canvas = document.getElementById('back');
  var draw_context = draw_canvas.getContext('2d');
  var corners = [];
  draw_canvas.addEventListener('mousedown',startDrawing,false);

  function startDrawing(e){
    corners.length=0;
    corners.push([e.layerX, e.layerY]);
    corners.push([e.layerX+1, e.layerY+1]);
    draw_canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', updateCorners,false);
    draw_canvas.addEventListener('mouseup',function(){
        draw_canvas.removeEventListener('mousemove', updateCorners,false);
    },false);
  }

  function updateCorners(e){
    corners[1] = [e.layerX, e.layerY]
    redraw();
  }

  function redraw(){
    draw_context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
    draw_context.beginPath()
    draw_context.lineWidth = "2";
    draw_context.strokeStyle = "red";
    draw_context.rect(corners[0][0], corners[0][1], corners[1][0] - corners[0][0], corners[1][1] - corners[0][1]);
    draw_context.stroke();
  }

  function extractFrame(){
    var video = document.createElement('video');
    var array = [];

    function initCanvas(){
        canvas.width = this.videoWidth;
        canvas.height = this.videoHeight;
    }

    function drawFrame(e) {
        this.pause();
        context.drawImage(this, 0, 0);
        var blob = canvas.toBlob(saveFrame, 'image/png');
        var dataUrl = URL.createObjectURL(array[0]);
        document.getElementById('back').style.background = "url('${dataUrl}')";
        URL.revokeObjectURL(dataUrl);
    }

    function saveFrame(blob) {
        console.log(array);
        array.push(blob);
        console.log(array);
    }

    video.muted = true;
    video.addEventListener('loadedmetadata', initCanvas, false);
    video.addEventListener('timeupdate', drawFrame, false);
    video.src = URL.createObjectURL(this.files[0]);
    video.play();
  }

</script>

I've been messing with the ordering of the code, the objects I'm passing, etc. all day now and I have no idea what's keeping this from working. If it helps, one of the errors I get most often is

Failed to execute 'createObjectURL' on 'URL': Overload resolution failed.

Which a different question said may be because the object in the array is undefined or None or however JS describes it, but the logged array says that it is populated with blobs.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Happy to provide more code or specs if I can. Thanks!

EDIT: I've added more code so that it can be reproduced (I hope). I'm not hosting it anywhere but locally, so I hope this works for y'all.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
